KYLE, Texas – Police in Central Texas are asking parents to double-check their children’s Halloween baskets after a razor blade was reported to be in one piece of candy.
The Kyle Police Department said on social media it received a report of a razor blade inside a child’s Halloween candy on Friday night.

The Facebook post was shared along with an image of a Reese’s Take 5 peanut butter cup, which had been removed from the packaging.
The piece of candy appears to have been split in half, with a razor covered in peanut butter off to the side.
Police Chief Dr. Jeff Barnett told KSAT that a child’s father reported the candy to police. The parents narrowed it down to a neighborhood where this candy was given out, Barnett said.
The razor appears to be similar to a facial hair razor, not a box cutter, he said. No one was injured.
Parents are encouraged to report any suspicious findings to their local police department.
